BEGINNING BALLET CLASSES AT CALTECH

Thank you Mamma...(Mary sent Kathy to ballet classes for a year or two when she was little. Now Kathy has attended several more hours of ballet, beginning to recapture her childhood!)

with Kathy
after her first beginning ballet class. It was Elizabeth's patient, inviting attitude that made Kathy feel welcome. Not many students take a 50 year break in their practice and can go back so happily!
This is a free introductory ballet class for women and men with little or no prior dance experience. Students will learn basic ballet technique which leads to better balance, flexibility, and strength.
